Currently reading R.E. Stearns' Barbary Station, which I picked up so as not to read the second in the series first. I'd bought the second one sometime in the past two years and it kept wanting me to read it... Anyway, I'm reading in the correct order, and taking my time with it. If you want a peek at the story, here's a Tor link:
